AppleTV (optical output) needs to connect to an old stereo system (RCA only)- will this device connect the two &amp; with what cables?

yes I got this device for that exact reason you need an optical cable and then just a pair of RCA and you are set. remember to take the caps off the optical cable before putting in the optical input on the boxes. look for digital optical cable on amazon. I got mine for about $5. good luck. works perfectly.

I assume your older system is like mine and only has old school analog red and white audio in cable ports? If so it works just as described. It takes that optical digital signal and converts to analog output. I use it and sound quality is pretty darn good.

I'm not sure how to answer. This is a single channel splitter. It will take a single RCA output and split to two. If you have right and left RCA outputs on your TV, you shouldn't need this. If there is a single output, it may not be RCA, as it should be stereo. If it is a digital output (usually yellow), this will not work as you will need a digital converter and amplifier. I hope this info helps you.

This has been working fine for me for almost 3 years now. I purchased the SR7002 in August of 2010 and the Apple TV is about as old, it's the small black version. It's either the port on the Marantz, the cable or the ATV. You'll need to troubleshoot.

I don't know what output Apple TV provides. I suggest you call BA pre-sale support line, they are very helpful. I love the sound from my system. It plays music in the kitchen via Bluetooth from my wife's iPhone 4S or from my Nokia Windows Phone. Good luck.

I wouldn't think you should have a problem. The apple tv connection uses an HDMI output which you send to the HDMI input of this unit and you then use any of the 3 possible outputs (component, composite or DVI) to your older set. I use the component outputs to my older Sony set and everything works fine.

Absolutely not It's a simple device with RCA connection only, and poor, proprietary wireless connectivity as I said before. It is meant to be the substitute for Airplay on a non-apple device. Hook it up to your receiver.

This will take the sound from digital coax and digital toslink (optical) to the standard RCA (red/white) output. You will have to buy the cables to go with it (Optical cable and RCA cable) but yes it will work for you.

This is a DIGITAL Optical CO-AXIAL cable with only a single plug on either end. The RCA cable is a 2-headed plug on each end for the white and red connectors for stereo sound input/output on the back of your equipment. You must check the back of your equipment carefully to determine which type you need. Check your owner's manuals. My connection with this cable was between a Blu-Ray player directly to my HDTV. Hope this helps.

No, this is only a signal converter. For using Airplay you would need an apple tv.

We're going Roku to TV with HDMI, then TV out to receiver/stereo with RCA and that works; but no way to go direct from Roku 2 to receiver with RCA

Unless you want your audio to go to a source other than your TV... like a 5.1 stereo setup. And in that case, you'll probably want to use the digital optical or digital coaxial audio output over RCA cables (unless your stereo doesn't support that).

I'm not familiar with Apple TV so I can't answer that part of your question. I can tell you that the Optical Cable is for AUDIO Only. You'll need HDMI (or other) cable for Video. Hope this helps.

this does work on my apple tv (v3), but it is only meant to carry audio signal to another device with an optical in. I am using it to send audio to an amplifier so I can listen to music streamed to the apple tv without having to turn on the TV. You will want an HDMI cable to go from your apple tv to your TV.

Cheryl, can you tell me what type of connections you have on the back of the tv? I connected my roku via two RCA inputs for sound and one RCA input for video.

In order for my setup to work correctly I have to use both the HDMI and the optical out on my Apple TV. My receiver is a 2001 Integra DTR6.2 which was made before HDMI existed so I run my HDMI into this switch and out to the TV. I then run the optical output from each device into this optical switch - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003C15798/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This works for me. I'm not sure if I answered your question. However one thing that I can tell you is tht this switch will not separate the audio from the video, which is why I needed the seperate optical switch.

This should certainly work. Just match the colors of the audio-in, that is stereo - (white and red rca in) with the audio-out and you can then switch between the sources
